T'was my thoughts too,

What did I do with my Stag Today - found the lost horses that had escaped from the engine - had the shiny worn Reconditioned Carbs removed (which had done 1500 miles) removed & fitted a new old stock set.
The best drive this afternoon I've ever had coming home the 30 miles - powering out of roundabouts shows I need to turn the steering wheel quicker as the world is passing so fast now
Think the spirited driving is emptying the fuel tank faster too.

Pleased for you, Neil.

I felt your pain at the w/e. Also remember well after my mechanic (who meets Russ' definition of technician) tuned my carbs shortly after I got mine - made a good car brilliant. Definately getting more smiles per gallon

Continuing the Yorkshire/NE reporting (see Neil and Jonno above): am doing a project in Filey currently so I use my Stag for the journey. Had a late meeting yesterday and a glorious run back along the A64 in fading light and late evening sun (not directly into it, luckily) with virtually no traffic, doing the 60 or so miles in not that much over an hour (or thereabouts, officer!). That V8 sounds soooo good in the cooler evening air and runs better too, or so it seems. Back in my motorcycling days I always thought the engines ran better at night. I wonder if there's any science behind that?

the air is cooler hence denser

Nurse says "that sounds like a description of you mister Roberts....."

Many apologies- in your case, more dense

[Paul Roberts]

We've already had this one cleared up, Russ, by them wot nose;

it's more denserer.

MOT due next week so i adjusted the front wheel bearings as they highlighted them last year as an advisory, oops

Also i have engine oil dripping below the oil pump when standing so checked the cam cover gasket and 1/2 moon and resealed and cleaned the area as best i could. Maybe now its cleaner i may be able to see where its coming from.

Whilst i was there I found a white with brown line wire which was not connected to anything between the bulkhead and off side head, it is live when the ignition switch is on. Does anyone know what this is for. Its not connected to anything by the way.

Oil pressure warning light. Have you a gauge and no switch?

That makes sense as mine has a mechanical guage and the wire would reach there. Thanks
